Oats and Seeds Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup raisins (or cranberries, golden raisins, etc.)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/2 cup panela honey (or bee honey, maple syrup; I’ve tried all of these and any of them work perfectly!)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 165°C (330°F).
2. Grind the oats in a blender or grinder to make oat flour.
3. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
4. In another bowl, mix the honey, oil, and vanilla.
5. Combine the two mixtures to form a dough.
6. Due to the nuts, the dough will be loose and have a non-compacted texture.
7. Shape the dough into balls with your hands, pressing to hold the ingredients together. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they are golden and have a dry appearance.
